TINAMIDJi. 



The variations in this species are so great that it is impossible to 

 give a description which can apply to each specimen, even adult. 



The brighter coloured birds are those from Bartica Grove, British 

 Guiana (fZ, e), the paler are from Balzar Mountains {t, u) ; specimens 

 from Antioquia (x) and Nicaragua (e, /') also often have the neck 

 very dark brown in front. Nothwithstanding the large series in the 

 British Museum, we must wait for larger series from each locality to 

 ■decide whether several races can be recognized. C. meseryilirus, 

 Sclat., from Mexico, is very little brighter than some specimens from 

 Brazil, and much duller than the Guiana birds ; to the Central 

 American dark-necked form, if distinct, the name 0. modestus, Cab. 

 may bo applied. 



Hah. Guiana, south to Brazil and Bolivia, west to Peru, Ecuador, 

 Colombia, and Central America, north to Mexico.
